Abstract (en)

The present invention is directed to a method of processing an ultrasound image, comprising the steps of: a) successively acquiring ultrasound images from an object; b) sampling ultrasound images in a predetermined time interval; c) determining an image difference between a currently sampled ultrasound image and a previously sampled ultrasound image; d) if the image difference is greater than a critical value, adjusting image parameters to optimize the image parameters; and e) applying the adjusted image parameters to the ultrasound images.
